Local Delivery by DoorDash

Descrizione

With the Local Delivery by DoorDash plugin for WooCommerce, your store can offer convenient local delivery to customers right from within the shopping cart — no app needed. Businesses of all sizes and across industries can use this plugin to tap into the same network of 1+ million monthly active Dashers that powers top retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, and thousands of other businesses around the US.

How It Works

As customers enter the shopping cart or checkout page, they are quoted a local delivery rate much like other standard shipping methods. The merchant collects the customer’s payment and then pays DoorDash directly for the fulfilled delivery, meaning the customer doesn’t need a DoorDash account or app. Both customers and merchants are able to track deliveries in real time.

Merchants do not need to be listed on DoorDash Marketplace (i.e., the DoorDash app or website) to use this plugin. However, all merchants must sign up for a free DoorDash Developer account to get API credentials and be approved to launch.

I have a custom WordPress plugin integration with DoorDash Drive. Glad to see there is now an official plugin from DoorDash that does everything my custom plugin does and more. Will be making the switch.

We've been using the door dash delivery app for some time now and it is so easy to set up and use. It makes our local delivery for our custom cakes business a breeze and takes the hassle out of everything. The support has been exemplary and every delivery we've had has gone smoothly. It integrates directly with woocommerce without much technical required and you have a dedicated merchant portal to track, update, cancel or adjust your deliveries. It is like having your own personal delivery service without the hassles. Best of all, this plugin is free with only the regular door dash delivery charges applied to each order. Cannot recommend this plugin highly enough for all your local delivery needs!
